And for the last 3 to 4 weeks, Clinton’s campaign has been fanning out across the state.

It marks the largest lead for Clinton in any major, national poll since the end of the Democratic convention.
On Sunday, for example, Clinton undermined her own efforts to improve her shaky poll numbers for trustworthiness.
Indeed, Clinton’s boost in the polls and net favorability may be less noteworthy than Trump’s coinciding week-long dive.
“Voters are more comfortable voting for people they like, so this is not good news for either candidate”, says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News Poll along with Democratic pollster Chris Anderson. Many people question her trustworthiness. She had 45%, and Trump had 31%, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson had 10% and Green Party candidate Jill Stein had 6%.
Clinton made gains with every ethnic and racial group, including whites and men, which Trump had led with previously. “Trump is kind of a insane guy”. Sixty-five percent of voters say Clinton is qualified to be president, compared to just 43 percent that believe the same of Trump. Some top GOP officials have put distance between themselves and the billionaire businessman, with some saying they’ll back Clinton.
Trump told supporters there in July that he was not concerned. Last month she was underwater by 14. Clinton campaigned in Colorado on Wednesday. “If the voter turnout of Hispanics is high here, Trump runs the risk of not winning”.
“The way he represents himself is just not favorable”, she said. “I’m not sure why he wants to cut off immigrants”. “It has more ins and outs, swings and sways than any we’ve seen and he did get away with comments he made about John McCain and Carly Fiorina, crooked Hillary and all the other things that have gone on in the campaign”.
Clinton’s polling numbers weren’t the only data point to get a bounce.
“I think the guy is insane”.
But, as I said years ago, presidential races are like MRIs for the soul.
That’s a troubling finding for a Republican.
The topic came up after Letterman asked Trump why he was endorsing Mitt Romney for president.
Kaine has a score of +12 points overall and +42 among Democrats.
Clinton wins moderates, 50-27 percent. Among African-Americans, she leads 91 percent-1 percent.
Clinton leads Trump 49 to 38 percent among likely Pennsylvania voters, said G. Terry Madonna, director, Center for Politics and Public Affairs, Franklin and Marshall on Thursday.
Trump, though, is “a racist and he starts trouble everywhere he goes”, she said. I predict – we will never have proof – they will try to influence the election. “I can’t see him meeting with any foreign leaders”. But keep in mind that Trump’s proposed Muslim ban – which many predicted would sink Trump’s candidacy – didn’t knock him off his first-place standing in the Republican primary contest.

Even his campaign hats, which say “Made in the United States of America”, aren’t entirely made domestically, an Associated Press analysis discovered.
